As the Senator is probably aware. yesterday morning the Subcommittee on Refugees and Escapees. which Is conducting a series of hearings on the various refugee programs. heard testimony by the Secretary of State. In the course of that hearing I asked the Secretary of State directly what the attitude of the U.S. Government would be if these trials scheduled for the end of next week took place. The Secretary made an extremely forthright. strong. and vigorous policy statement. He indicated. first of all. that if these trials took place. that we. as a nation. would look upon such behavior by the North Vietnamese with the greatest degree of horror and revulsion.
